Why would anybody do that? So you can call them "stupid" as well? > According to me the /dev/sda5 and /dev/sda6 partitions each have a > root directory. If you feel this is wrong then what is right?

Neither of these labels is accurate or correct, and they are extremely likely to be confusing to a learner and misinterpreted.
